Please note, Pure may require additional coats to achieve opacity, due to its colourant-free nature. It's important to know the difference between regular chalk paint and chalkboard paint, as the latter can be written on and erased like an old-fashioned chalkboard but isn't suitable for use on furniture. The best chalk paint for furniture is one that adheres well to wood surfaces. Contrary to popular belief, chalk paint is incredibly versatile and can be used to paint fabrics as well as furniture and vases. Almost any chalk paint will work well on fabric, but we prefer Country Chic, because it is inexpensive and comes in more than 50 different colors.

The paint is a water-based with impressive adhesive qualities that will save you time when painting. When using chalk paint, there is no need to sand or prime the surface first.

A chalk paint's coverage claims should be taken with a grain of salt because of how widely varying each project is. Darker woods, for example, will require more product or coats to cover, especially if you’re using a lighter paint color. If you're going for a weathered look, full coverage might not be that important. You might even like the way the wood looks when it shows through. All things considered, 1 ounce of chalk paint will typically cover 1 to 3 square feet. Dust: If you don’t like dust, a chalkboard wall may not be right for you. Chalk is messy and the dust from the chalk will find its way to your floor and to any furniture and crevices nearby. Colored chalk dust can also discolor any flooring or painted walls nearby. This chalk paint, like most others, is versatile and can be used on a wide variety of surfaces like wood and glass. To use the chalk paint on upholstery, evenly spray the fabric with water, and brush on the chalk paint (you may want to dilute it slightly). If necessary, apply a second or third coat of paint to get the desired effect. You can successfully transform a side chair or even an entire sofa with this chalk paint in minutes. Dust can prevent paint from adhering to upholstery, so be sure to clean and vacuum the surface before beginning. The paint is free of chemicals like phthalates, formaldehyde, or heavy metals and comes in 4-, 16-, and 32-ounce containers, so you can choose the right size for your needs.

However, there are a few things to consider before you paint a chalkboard wall. What Is Chalkboard Paint?

Be sure not to confuse chalkboard paint with chalk paint. Chalkboard paint is just what it sounds like—paint that allows you to turn the item or wall you’re painting into one you can write on with chalk. It creates a hard, scratch-resistant surface and can be applied to wood, metal, drywall, glass, concrete and more. According to Rust-Oleum, a maker of chalkboard paint, the paint works best when used indoors and can be cleaned with soap and water. Allow the paint to dry for three days and once cured, prepare the surface for chalk by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the entire surface, and then erase it. Chalk paint is an amazing product for beginner DIYers because it is very forgiving and has great coverage," says Autumn Heseman, a furniture flipper and DIY blogger. However, not all chalk paints are created equal. The best chalk paints are highly adhesive, provide full coverage, and last for years. If you get tired of a chalkboard wall, you can just paint over it. Wash the area to remove all residue, then sand, prime and paint over it with your favorite new color.For those who are looking for a rustic look, applying chalk paint with a natural flexible long bristle brush is highly recommended, as the brushstrokes can be seen and add some character to the matte finish. Some people favor using a foam roller, even though this technique may call for additional paint.
